It was 2:41 on Sunday
morning when I heard what sounded like our son slamming out the back
door and taking off in his truck…
What!!???
My mother radar
screamed…..where is he going at this time of night..in this
weather…..!!???*** ( We were having high winds and heavy rains
thanks to a front coming in from the north and Matthew to the east….)
By this time the dogs have
gone ballistic and the banging had reached a new level on the back
side of the house....
Turned out to be part of
the leaf guard in the rain gutter had broken lose on one end and was
trying to come in the dining room window…
We
woke up the kid and made him move his truck which was under and to
the right of the damaged guard…..then removed the window
screen…..grabbed the metal guard and as I held it CityBoy hurried
downstairs for a drill and screws….
Now it is screwed into the
outside wooden window frame and seemed to be fairly secure….'cause
the gutter people says they can get out here maybe within the next
six weeks…..
i am glad you were able to "secure" it before it came through your window. Hopefully the "gutter" people can get to fixing it before the snow flies. Funny how that "mom radar" hangs around even when the kids are grown.
ReplyDeleteAh ha! now you are hearing like I used to. But it is a great story! Screws and screw guns are sometimes the wonder tools!
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught it before any damage was done. Bumps in the night can be a scary thing. Good your's was fixable anyway!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! What a scare, glad it wasn't worse!
